I'll be in the barn!
For Easter i got some chicks and we recently found out that three of them are roosters....
they seem to get along but 1 of my friends said that her friend had 2 roosters and she had them together and they almost killed each other.....
since these are growing up together i didn't know if they would get along or not...
they only peck each other in the back of the neck but all of my chickens do that.. and this morning i heard one of the roosters crow for the first time...
thanks,
if anyone could help me that would be great

If they grow up together they may get along better than if they did not, but the poor hen will not be able to handle to roosters eventually. I would look at ways to seperate in the future.

Good Luck
 
also i forgot to mention that we just moved them in with our for silkies they are getting along very well.... there are 7 hens in with three roosters we plan to probably separate them later if they start to fight viciously there are three brown leghorn hens and 4 silkie hens plus the 3 brown leghorn roosters :)

I would just keep an eye on them. If they have plenty of room to move around may not be too bad. My breeding pens are set up early with 2 roosters and 5 hens, but eventually I end up having to move one rooster out, not so much for the fighting if they were raised together, but more for the hens safety and loss of feathers.
